Rooster Combs

Our roosters Abe and Homer decided they were tall enough to eat from the top of our metal feeder.  Unlike their counterparts, the hens that feed from the bottom of the feeder.   Have you ever seen the movie "The Christmas Story"?   Well, the rooster's combs stuck to the metal of the feeder just like the boy in the movie had his tongue stuck to the flag pole.  Our roosters aren't the brightest in the hen house they stuck their combs to the feeder not once but numerous times.  Blood was everywhere from them ripping their frozen combs from the metal.  My husband and I determined that chickens never or almost never learn from past experience, a little like us humans.  Anyway, we decided to remove the metal feeder and use a rubber feeder.  My daughter, Alexis and I put A&D on their combs.  All is well!!
